[finite temple]

Give partition

[viscid pivot]

Gparted

[harsh thistle]

uhhhh i loaded into windows do i go into my boot menu again

and go on pop os?

okay 1 sec guys im hopping on linux pop os

I'm on pop os rn

Oh no

Guys I think I have a problem

I have to start over again

Custom advanced

okay im on linux now

@viscid pivot @finite temple you there?

what do i select

[finite temple]

Let me see

[harsh thistle]

see what

[finite temple]

Your NTFS (windows partition) is taking up most of the space

[harsh thistle]

i know

[finite temple]

What are those small partitions at the right?

[harsh thistle]

do i select modify partitions?

which one

[finite temple]

At the very right, what are those partitions? Did you place those yourself?

[harsh thistle]

yes i did that before i thought i lost it

[viscid pivot]

Left most one is EFI i guess

[harsh thistle]

ive flagged them i think

which one do i choose guys?

[viscid pivot]

whaaa....

[viscid pivot]

did you created a new EFI?

[harsh thistle]

after flagging them?

or before

[finite temple]

Why do you have two EFIs? The second EFI..?

[harsh thistle]

they told me to do that

[finite temple]

No

You need only one

[harsh thistle]

which one do i delete?

[viscid pivot]

that can rewrite your windows EFI (Windows Loss)

[finite temple]

Don't

[harsh thistle]

uh okay

[viscid pivot]

the one you created right now

[finite temple]

You should consult someone more knowledgeable that can get hands on your PC

Because deleting an EFI partition can result in an unbootable OS

[viscid pivot]

you want to do dual boot?

[harsh thistle]

yes i do i wanna do dual boot and this is the one i created

[viscid pivot]

A single EFI can Contain multiple Entries of different OSes

[harsh thistle]

which one do i choose now?

[viscid pivot]

and did you turned off BitLocker?

[harsh thistle]

yes

i turned off bitlocker fast boot and secure boot

[viscid pivot]

alrightt

[harsh thistle]

secure boot was turned off when i got this pc

[viscid pivot]

okay

and which Software did you used to create bootable USB

[viscid pivot]

you should delete this one, if you created this as of today

[harsh thistle]

ffirst rufus but it didnt work so i chose the thing i forgot what its called it think its called belernal etcher

[viscid pivot]

Balena Etcher

is you Disk on GPT or MBR Partition Style?

[harsh thistle]

oh yes balena etcher i flashed it 2 times

i think gpt

[viscid pivot]

[harsh thistle]

i mean you can see the chat from above

when i was before doing everything

[viscid pivot]

did you selected GPT when did etched? in Rufus

[harsh thistle]

like what?

[viscid pivot]

in Rufus GUI?

Partition Style

[harsh thistle]

can you show me i dont understand?

[harsh thistle]

file system right?

[viscid pivot]

no

Partition Scheme

[harsh thistle]

hmm let me check

[viscid pivot]

did you had these configs?

[harsh thistle]

i used defualt settings

[viscid pivot]

what's that

btw how many OSes you had before?

is it your first time on Linux?

[harsh thistle]

its mbr

yes its my first time on linux

[viscid pivot]

in Rufus?

[harsh thistle]

yes in rufus

[viscid pivot]

and you Disk is GPT

[harsh thistle]

yes

[viscid pivot]

try these exact configs to make the bootable USB

[harsh thistle]

dude

im on pop os

[viscid pivot]

also i want you to explain clearly

when did you creates EFI?

[harsh thistle]

not windows

[viscid pivot]

from Live USB?

[harsh thistle]

what does efi stand for

is it for storage?

[viscid pivot]

Extensible Firmware Interface iirc...

[harsh thistle]

what does that even mean

[viscid pivot]

it stores which OS it boot, like boot entries

[harsh thistle]

i think so

[viscid pivot]

yes

[harsh thistle]

what now

[viscid pivot]

so are you using PopOs from USB?

am i right

[harsh thistle]

yes

[viscid pivot]

can you go back onto windows again and make an bootable? For GPT?

[harsh thistle]

why

[viscid pivot]

with these configs

[harsh thistle]

but i cant

[viscid pivot]

MBR may no support GPT

[harsh thistle]

since i used default settings

[viscid pivot]

are you unable to boot back to windows

[harsh thistle]

i can

from the boot menu

[viscid pivot]

so why not!

[harsh thistle]

okay 1 second

[viscid pivot]

can you also show Disk Management Tool, from windows!

[harsh thistle]

on windows

okay ill show disk

[viscid pivot]

oki

[harsh thistle]

there

okay

[viscid pivot]

okii

now Rufus

can you show the Screenshot of Configs !

after you done doing that

[harsh thistle]

back

[viscid pivot]

yo

[harsh thistle]

there

[viscid pivot]

file system FAT32

[harsh thistle]

but i chose fat32 installing it?

[viscid pivot]

in device select your USB

[harsh thistle]

wait let me replug it

[viscid pivot]

first let's reformat it?

your USB

basically an fresh install

[harsh thistle]

oh shoot it fell

[viscid pivot]

oh noo

[harsh thistle]

okay its replued

repluged

[viscid pivot]

cool

open Disk Management Tool

[harsh thistle]

now what

[viscid pivot]

tis

[harsh thistle]

uhh where

[viscid pivot]

Disk

[harsh thistle]

holy

[viscid pivot]

tis

[harsh thistle]

why is there alot of disks

[viscid pivot]

those having simple in layout

right click then show options

[harsh thistle]

right click what?

[viscid pivot]

those partitions

[harsh thistle]

which one

[viscid pivot]

first do it with one

show the options

[harsh thistle]

theres no options

[viscid pivot]

your USB is 32GB right?

[viscid pivot]

whaa

[harsh thistle]

yes its 32 gb

[viscid pivot]

alright open

This PC

[harsh thistle]

then

[viscid pivot]

then screenshot

[viscid pivot]

umm specifically ThisPC

[viscid pivot]

where's the USB T~T

[harsh thistle]

yeah so after i flashed it with rufus it wouldnt show only on taskbar

[viscid pivot]

alright just do the Rufus then

[viscid pivot]

it will/may Reformat it automatically

[viscid pivot]

can you do?
Target System
UEFI (non-CSM)

[harsh thistle]

yes sire

[viscid pivot]

kk

[harsh thistle]

sure*

wheres target system?

oh there

[viscid pivot]

.

[harsh thistle]

uhh i cant rightclick

or left click

[viscid pivot]

umm go to Advanced Options

[harsh thistle]

i seem to not find it

[viscid pivot]

-# show advanced format option

[harsh thistle]

yes i found it

[viscid pivot]

show

[viscid pivot]

i guess it fine then

if it's unchangeable

[harsh thistle]

so do i boot into pop os?

[viscid pivot]

yes and don't make another EFI

and start installation

[harsh thistle]

are you sure im dual booting

windows 11 and linux pop!_os

is it user friendly

[viscid pivot]

yup

[harsh thistle]

the level is not like arch artix lfs or more

okay im going to boot into linux pop

[viscid pivot]

one thing to be cleared 👇

you created that new EFI when you were installing PopOs recently right?

[harsh thistle]

i created 2 i think

is it for storage for os?

os's

[viscid pivot]

1st one was there from always?

[viscid pivot]

for Boot Entries

it keeps boot records

[harsh thistle]

oh yes i added 1 gb for test and my final stoarge is 100 gb

[viscid pivot]

like Grub uses these

[harsh thistle]

okay im booting into boot menu

[viscid pivot]

ouuu that 1GB is your new EFI

i would say unallocate it or just dont use it

[harsh thistle]

like delete it?

okay

i wont use it

[viscid pivot]

for now just keep it as it is

just don't make another EFI

[viscid pivot]

yep!

[harsh thistle]

also why do i need to shut off my pc and boot it and spam f8 but if i restart it just freezes when i spam

[viscid pivot]

PopOs will use the EFI that already existed and was created by Windows

[viscid pivot]

F8 to open UEFI menu?

[harsh thistle]

f2 is the bios f8 is the boot menu

asus motherboard

[viscid pivot]

oouu

does pressing f8 opens grub menu?

[harsh thistle]

okay booting rn

[viscid pivot]

kk

are you there

[harsh thistle]

im here i just had to boot up and log in my discord account

@viscid pivot hello?

[viscid pivot]

here

[harsh thistle]

ok what now

what do i choose

[viscid pivot]

i just researched and got to know about it's kinda different than Ubuntu or Debian OS

so you were right

but you will have to use BIOS each time to boot

there's not grub in PopOs

[harsh thistle]

oh okay

[viscid pivot]

you can use that 1GB EFI

[harsh thistle]

why?

for test?

[viscid pivot]

to install

[harsh thistle]

install what?

1 gb of storage is not enough

[viscid pivot]

i mean that is

[harsh thistle]

for what?

[viscid pivot]

go to modify partition

[harsh thistle]

i am there

[viscid pivot]

to make an EFI for PopOs

[viscid pivot]

show

[viscid pivot]

right click on your Partition where you will install PopOs

64GB

didn't you had it before?

[harsh thistle]

yes

yes i had it before

[viscid pivot]

so didn't it booted?

without USB?

[harsh thistle]

i didnt make it

i only made 100 gb and 1 gb

[viscid pivot]

[viscid pivot]

[harsh thistle]

[viscid pivot]

[viscid pivot]

that 64GB

[harsh thistle]

i forgot about it

[harsh thistle]

yes

@viscid pivot hello?

[harsh thistle]

?

[harsh thistle]

ice bear

you left me?

@finite temple im almost done can you help

[finite temple]

Give sec

[harsh thistle]

okay

[finite temple]

You still have those partitions?

[harsh thistle]

uhh the thing for the storage?

[finite temple]

It's a bit risky to touch those partitions

[harsh thistle]

yes ik

[finite temple]

I highly recommend you backup data

[harsh thistle]

how

[viscid pivot]

bak

my dad asked me to touch grass, so i had to

[harsh thistle]

i dont wanna use one drive sinces it secretly deletes my files

hi ice bear

[viscid pivot]

we were near to install PopOs

[harsh thistle]

yeah sometimes you gotta do that

[viscid pivot]

yo! didn't you figured out how to select thos partition?

[viscid pivot]

or should I?

[viscid pivot]

T~T my screen tima was 17 hour last week

[finite temple]

Just copy data to a safe drive

[harsh thistle]

i only have an ssd 1tb

and i wanna dualboot

[viscid pivot]

coollll

[harsh thistle]

thanks

[viscid pivot]

also select format for 64GB Partition only, for a clean install, also select that EFI of 1GB

don't touch the windows one

[viscid pivot]

yo, he can't have grub i guess?
cause PopOs doesn't use grub right?

it uses systemd-boot T~T

[finite temple]

Not sure

[harsh thistle]

theres no 64gb but only 69gb shown on install pop!_OS 24.04 lts

[finite temple]

I do not use POP

[viscid pivot]

yep i found a few reddit post stating that

[finite temple]

All I concern is his partitions being messy

And he's trying to dualboot this

He has a very jank setup that should be fixed with a complete reinstall

[viscid pivot]

kind of, but still we can correct em after install

[viscid pivot]

yeaa

[finite temple]

But if you want to salvage this, you might want to remove the second EFI partition

Or actually

[harsh thistle]

im just going to keep it

[finite temple]

Just reinstall Pop entirely and delete all of those partitions

[viscid pivot]

perhaps

[harsh thistle]

is that normal?

?

[viscid pivot]

in mint or other debian/ubuntu single EFI is a must

PopOs is kinda different

[harsh thistle]

mint doesnt work on my nvidia gpu only on my old laptop

but i like pop os

[viscid pivot]

ummmmmm, are you ready to take risk then?

keeping both EFI?

[harsh thistle]

what do you mean?

[viscid pivot]

nuclear rampage

[harsh thistle]

do i need to uninstall?

one efi

[viscid pivot]

wait a sec! lemme look for PopOs discord server

[harsh thistle]

https://discord.com/channels/845005478111346708/845021387306565664

i found it

i cant send the link since discord doesnt let it pass

[viscid pivot]

i,am there too

@harsh thistle so uhmm, still want PopOs?

should we create a thread there?

[harsh thistle]

yes

[viscid pivot]

or another OS? compatible with Nvidia?

[viscid pivot]

alright i will try asking em

[harsh thistle]

idk pop os is safe for nvidia

[viscid pivot]

let's see

[viscid pivot]

Linux Mint is safe too i guess, my brother has an Asus laptop with GTX

Nvidia

which work

[harsh thistle]

will rtx 5060 dual series work?

okay if i just remove windows no dualboot will it be fine?

[viscid pivot]

ypu don't want windows anymore?

i found a support thread there, about dualboot with windows 11

[harsh thistle]

i mean i can reinstall it if i want to

[harsh thistle]

where

forward it

[viscid pivot]

https://discord.com/channels/845005478111346708/1401310249868328960

[harsh thistle]

okay ill do it on virtual machine

[viscid pivot]

so no more windows anymore?

or should i look for forums
talking about rtx 5060 dual series's compatibility with mint

PopOs isn't meant for dual boot i guess

[harsh thistle]

can i get my own account in the vm?

[viscid pivot]

i guess yeaaaa, but it will be limited

like since it's under a
VM (Virtual Machine)

[harsh thistle]

yes ik

okay so no more windows right?

[viscid pivot]

T~T

that's sad

wait a min

[harsh thistle]

?

[viscid pivot]

by putting USB in and changing Boot Order

[harsh thistle]

[viscid pivot]

but first try with different case Pass

[harsh thistle]

All is not

[viscid pivot]

[harsh thistle]

I'm so dumb for doing that

[viscid pivot]

[harsh thistle]

No

How do I reinstall

[viscid pivot]

[harsh thistle]

Writing the password on a paper and making sure no one EVER touches this paper

[harsh thistle]

I didn't pay attention to my keyboard

[viscid pivot]

Concentrate bro Concentrate

[harsh thistle]

????

Clean install

[viscid pivot]

yes

[harsh thistle]

Okay typed it and paid a lot attention on the keyboard

[viscid pivot]

👀

[harsh thistle]

Do I need to install drivers or does it install drivers by it self

[viscid pivot]

not sure 👀

[harsh thistle]

I'm going to install drivers anyway

[viscid pivot]

i guess it automatically installs?

that's why considered Beginner Friendly

[harsh thistle]

I have an Ethernet?

[viscid pivot]

network driver issue?

[harsh thistle]

It's just my motherboard it doesn't have it

[viscid pivot]

perhaps will have to tinker a bit

[harsh thistle]

Even bluetooth

[viscid pivot]

yayyy it installed?

[viscid pivot]

sameeee

[harsh thistle]

I found this

[viscid pivot]

yayyy

[harsh thistle]

I think if I just perform an update it will install drivers

Ice bear you actually helped me a lot than others

[viscid pivot]

i guesss, try doing that?

[harsh thistle]

Yes

[viscid pivot]

i,am just a silly useless bear who knows a little bit about linux, nothing much

[harsh thistle]

Let me ask gemini

[harsh thistle]

I actually didn't even know what to do with others it was 10x harder

I can't type my password on terminal

To install drivers

[viscid pivot]

this thing was that we all were confused, but we did it practically
hit and try

[viscid pivot]

it's getting written
but isn't showing
it's a normal linux thing

try pressing backspace to clear characters then type code as you do normally

[harsh thistle]

Oh it worked

Thanks sm

Installing drivers rn
